Iran Guards say they will target U.S. tech firms if more leaders killed
The group said the firms aided U.S.-Israeli targeting and ordered employees and nearby residents to leave as reprisals were set to start Wednesday night.
- On Tuesday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps declared 18 American companies as "legitimate targets," setting a reprisal deadline for eight p.m. Tehran time on Wednesday, April 1.
- Accusing these firms of aiding "terrorist operations," the IRGC claims they are the "primary element in designing and tracking assassination targets" for US-Israeli attacks inside Iran.
- Named firms include Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Boeing, with the IRGC warning employees to "immediately distance themselves from their workplaces" and urging residents within a one-kilometer radius to evacuate.
- With offices in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, the presence of these firms across the Gulf creates immediate risks to personnel and infrastructure if threats are enacted.
- This follows February 2025 sanctions against Jamshid Eshaghi for allegedly funding Tehran-backed proxies; the firm designations signal escalating Iranian targeting of Western corporate operations amid ongoing regional conflict.
